images don't show with certain code

[inusrat]

Hi,

I had a website on my web server at home.
I used to have the following code for images which used to work fine

<img src="images/summerspecial.jpg"

Now I am hosting the website on some hosting company's server. There I don't get my images though I have the same directory structure.

It works If I have it the following way

<img src="

http://teststore420.biz/images/summerspecial.jpg"

I am just trying to understand, why is that. Why do I need to change the code.

Thanks

Could be one of two things that spring immediately to mind:

The path "images/summerspecial.jpg" is relative to where the page that calls it is located... so even though your images directory structure may be unchanged, is the rest of your structure unchanged as well?

if "

http://teststore420.biz/images/summerspecial.jpg"

works, then for "images/summerspecial.jpg" to work, the page would need to be in the root directory of the server. If the page URL was say "

http://teststore420.biz/inusrat/index.html"

then when it tries to resolve "images/summerspecial.jpg" it will work out to "

http://teststore420.biz/inusrat/images/summerspecial.jpg"

ergo 404.

Using the fully qualified path, or even the path calculated from the root will work, ie ("

http://teststore420.biz/images/summerspecial.jpg"

or simply "/images/summerspecial.jpg")

The other thing that it could be is a case sensitivity issue... "IMAGES", "Images", "images" and "iMaGeS" are not the same thing on all platforms, if you've moved from a windows to a *nix environment, it might be worthwhile checking the case of your links against the case of the actual structure.

The img tag isn't closed either, but I am guessing this is an oversight in this post.

You are right, the problem was with the case...Thanks. i was using w2k server OS, they may be using something else, probably *nix
